On November 27 (local time), the European Commission received a notification from Apple. The notification indicated that Apple's core platform services, namely Apple Advertising and Apple Maps, have satisfied the threshold criteria outlined in the Digital Markets Act (DMA). In the English-speaking business and regulatory context, using "gets" instead of "receives" can sometimes make the tone more natural and conversational, though "receives" is also perfectly correct. For the services, "Ad" is a common abbreviation for "Advertising" in English, especially in tech and business circles. The European Commission now has 45 working days to determine whether to classify Apple as a gatekeeper for either of these services. In English legal and regulatory language, "classify... as" is a more precise and commonly used phrase than "designate... as" in this context. If Apple is classified as such, it will be obligated to adhere to the DMA requirements within six months. Using "obligated to adhere to" is a more formal and accurate way of expressing the legal obligation compared to just "required to comply with", though the latter is also correct.
